Transcript:

CLINIC: Good afternoon, Planned Parenthood, (unclear). This is Alicia (sp). How can I help you?

CALLER: Hi. Yeah. I was wondering if you guys do abortions there?

CLINIC: We do it in Des Moines.

CALLER: In Des Moines?

CLINIC: Yeah. Do you want that phone number?

CALLER: Yeah, okay.

CLINIC: It is 515-280-7000.

CALLER: Oh, okay. Do you know if they have to tell my parents before I can have an abortion?

CLINIC: How old are you?

CALLER: I’ll be 14 in March.

CLINIC: There are a few things that you can do to get around that, but they have to be really pertinent reasons. But I am not sure exactly what those are. They should be able to tell you a little bit more about there.

CALLER: Okay. My parents can’t find out at all, because if they do — my boyfriend’s 22. We’re in love, and we’re going to get married. But they hate him because they think he’s too old for me. So there’s just no way they can find out.
